You (Yes, You) Can Apply to Be Kate Middleton's New Royal Assistant

If you're the type to harbor princess fantasies, then you'll agree that the second best to being one in real life is working for one who—in this case—is named Kate Middleton. We'll give you a moment to locate your résumé before telling you that the Duchess of Cambridge is seeking a new private secretary.

An opening for Kate's right-hand woman (or man) will soon be available, as the 35-year-old royal's previous secretary, Rebecca Deacon, is leaving her post, which she assumed in 2012 following years of working for Prince Harry's charity, Sentebale. Kensington Palace confirmed Rebecca's departure to the Daily Mail, which cites her impending wedding as the reason for her resignation. (Good news for Rebecca: She's expected to wed in the Chapel Royal at St. James's Palace—the same place Prince George was christened—with Kate and husband Prince William in attendance.)

Kensington Palace released a statement about her departure: "Their Royal Highnesses are incredibly grateful for all the hard work and support Rebecca has provided over the past ten years, and wish her well in the next phase of her career."

While we're sure Kate is bummed to lose a friend and solid employee, it means good news for the rest of us, who can seemingly apply for the career of a lifetime. Per the Daily Mail, duties for the dream job include "organising official programmes and engagements and ensuring Kate is briefed on who she is going to meet."

(And let's also hope it includes trying on Kate's crowns, attending fittings for her to-die-for outfits, swapping wedding planning tips with Pippa, and playing with Prince George and Princess Charlotte.)

HelloGiggles also found that Rebecca often accompanied Kate around the world for her royal visits and was tasked with holding the many gifts (flowers, stuffed animals) bestowed upon the Duchess of Cambridge. Yes, you'd get a salary for all this.

While it's more likely the family will simply promote from within for the coveted position, it's not always the case. The royals have a job board (seriously) that has recently posted positions for internships for Prince Harry and Queen Elizabeth (love of corgis required) as well as a royal Social Media Manager.

Of course, if you're not looking to relocate to the U.K., the Obamas are also in the market for some interns...
